The facilities were excellent - altho we knew there was a games room there was far more than we expected, including Christmas trees. There were plenty of DVD's, CD's and toys, as well as hundreds of books.

The cottage and its facilities were fantastic and suited our needs perfectly.
If I was to nit-pick, we struggled to get the shower pumping really hot water (dodgy valve?) and one of the kids trapped their fingers in a bedroom door which swings shut of its own accord, but overall we had a fantastic experience and would certainly go back.

“Amazing”

Amazing!!! We booked this as a last minute get away. The building is beautiful, with so much character. The bedrooms are all good sizes with comfortable beds. The kitchen has everything you need (a home away from home) So much to do inside the house, between playing snooker, table tennis or table football or even reading one of the many books provided. Lovely family pup at the end of the road. We all had a fantastic short break and wish we could have stayed longer. Wifi password was provided just before we arrived and worked great!
Vendor was very helpful.

“Loved the accommodation, and having ...”

Loved the accommodation, and having the games facilities was a real bonus. The Chapel was spacious, warm and comfortable. There was a great selection of DVDs and CDs to watch and listen to too. Plus the novelty of staying in a converted chapel. The location was great too, went on some lovely walks and Salisbury isn't far.

“Huge Quirky friendly place”

We hired for weekend with four children / four adults, weather was damp and miserable but that didn't matter as the chidren absolutely loved it. The games room is awesome and the place as a whole brought back childhood memories of an old sunday school. The villagers were all very, very friendly. It had everything needed for cooking, sleeping, cleaning showering etc., and made an excellent base whether going into the new forest or to the coast. I would say ideal place if you have young children. Owner was very friendly also, we had option to call him at anytime if we needed anything.

“The Methodist Chapel was lovely and ...”

The Methodist Chapel was lovely and much bigger than we imagined. It was perfect for a family trip with small people. The kitchen space was big but cosy and separate from the bedrooms which was perfect for when the little people were asleep.

“Masses of room, lots to do”

We stayed here August 2015 and had a great time. There is plenty of room in the chapel, the games room is excellent, it has a tv, dvd player, wifi and music system as well ,so if it was chucking it down the kids would have plenty to keep them occupied for ages. The shower room is good, and there is a freestanding bath in the other bathroom. There's a washing machine and tumble dryer too. The kitchen/diner is large with a table big enough for 8 people or more. There are two pubs in the village and both do nice food. The village is quiet and is on the edge of the New Forest. Salisbury is not far to go for shopping. We would certainly go back there and would recommend it for big families.

The Methodist Chapel was extremely spacious for our family of 5. It was well furbished and stocked in the kitchen, and the games room was a great asset in entertaining us in the evenings. The two bathrooms get our thumbs up too!

“fabulous”

this place is ideal for all ages. We were 10 at the weekend ages ranging for 75 down to 7 and we all loved it. Spacious,comfy, lots to do inside and out and about to the coast and New Forest. Grandchildren said it was "awesome". We all want to go again. Everything you want provided. Loved it. we particularly went for the snooker, the full sized table is flawless.

“A lovely place to stay!”

This lovely property really had the wow factor - it was a lovely place to stay, with all the comforts of home. The space was enormous! There were two huge rooms on the ground floor - the old school room which was a kitchen/diner/living area and where we spent most of our time. The second was the old church room, which had a couple of sofa's and a TV, and three large games tables. Above this room was a mezzanine level where the three adjoining bedrooms were. The beds were very comfortable, which is always a bonus! In the children's room there was a large selection of Polly Pocket toys which kept my 3 year old twins occupied for many hours! The shower in the wet room was the best - I could've passed a day in there!!
There were a couple of downsides to the property, but nothing major. The first was that the 3 bedrooms were small and adjoined. We were a party of two young families including a baby, so baby crying in the night meant that we were all awake. This wouldn't be an issue with an older party though. The second was that there was only one indoor toilet - which was an issue especially as we had two toilet-training children and a baby that required bathing. There was an outdoor toilet, but I wasn't brave enough to use it just in case I found a spider... It also can't be used after 10pm as it disturbs the neighbours.
The surrounding locality was fantastic - the corner shop sold everything we needed, the Tesco's delivery drivers do many deliveries to the property and knew it well. Bearing in mind our trip was for young children, there was a great park just across the main road there were many soft play amenities within 1/2hr drive. We spent one day at Poulton's Park for Peppa Pig World and would highly recommend it.
All in all a lovely stay - a well equipped holiday accommodation with a friendly, helpful owner. There were plenty of games/books/toys and home comforts.
